Message	since it was at 47K on the odo. The motor will be coming out in 2 weeks for a swap, but I had the front of it off to change the Water Pump a couple of months ago. The T-Belt and pulleys all looked and felt fine... Once TT'd I'll continue to go with Nissan's recommended interval, which in that case is 60,000 miles. While I believe in maintaining a car well, I don't really believe in over maintenance.
